Published website disappeared from iweb

I have a website that I have published to a file on my computer. The file is still on my desktop but the website is not longer appearing to edit when I open iWeb. Is there anyway to get it back into iWeb?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you reinstall the system before this problem started?
iWeb uses a folder/package titled domain.sites2 to keep all of the files used in the creation of a web site. It's default location is in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
Search your hard drive for another file with the same name. Download and use Find Any File as it will search areas that Spotlight can't.
If you find another file double click on it to open it with iWeb and see if it contains your site. If not and you don't have a backup copy of that file you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. To help you Chapter 2.3 of the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

When MobileMe goes down the drain, you will need to move your website to standard hosting. Depending on your site size, I recommend A Small Orange, as the Tiny hosting plan they have is big enough for most iWeb sites and much cheaper then shelling out $6 a month for most of the other big names, and if you check out their forum, several of the members have coupon codes in thier signatures. Also, their customer service is great and very fast in getting back to you.
To upload, I publish the iWeb site to a folder, then using Cyberduck upload it to the host. Cyberduck beats iWeb's FTP uploader because Cyberduck only replaces updated pages, instead of uploading the entire site.
I hope this helps!

Can I publish to blogger from iWeb?

I want to publish from iWeb but I don't want to pay for a website, and I'm only going to blog for a couple of months while I am on vacation. Any Thoughts?

No you can't.
Blogger is Google's blog and it is free, so sign into Google and you can create a blog for free directly there.
Your other alternative is to use http://www.wordpress.com. This is also a free blogging service and if you are on vacation, you will be able to update it from any terminal you can get to - a PC or a Mac and you can do this online. Once you don't need the blog anymore you can delete it from the WordPress servers and that's it. You don't need to pay for a website.
Don't use the iWeb blog as it is too restrictive to use whilst travelling - just use either Google's blogger or WordPress.com at source, with both being free.

How to publish a BOOK from iWeb blog

During 2011 I kept a Blog in iWeb on me.com when my little 7 year old daughter was suffering from liver cancer. the Blog was read and commented by many people. I have been her Living Donor for the liver, and so far she is a "survivor" with sparks in her eys that represent "life".
We have had a lot of support from people that are close to us and I want to thank them all by "publishing" a book from the blog. I kept it on my Macbook wich also still has iWeb on it. I a 'just a user' and not a freak, so I do not have a clue if this is possible to do or just Wishfull thinking. I presume you can never get back to me.com, so the ' web counter' as well as 'feed back' might have been lost, but I sure want to publish this blog in a book. It would be a great gift to thos who supported us and other people that go through this as well, as well as for my little girl Joy, so when she is older she knows what she has been going throug. Is there anyone that could support in the steps I need to undertake to get this done?

To give you an idea what is possible, I used Chrome on my iPad and printed a webpage as pdf to Google Drive with Google Cloudprinter.
This is the webpage :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/cultureclub/Blog/Blog.html
This is the result :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/cultureclub/CultureClubBlog.pdf
BTW, you can merge pdf files in Preview.app :

Publish Error whilst publishing to .Mac from iWeb

Hello.
I have suddenly started getting an error "Publish Error. An error occured whilst publishing file xxx" whilst trying to publish my website from within iWeb.
I have the latest version of iWeb (1.1.2). It used to work OK and I have made no recent changes other than to add a new photograph page. I have plenty of free space on .Mac.
I have tried the following:
- Publishing to Folder (this works fine)
- Deleting the offending file. I then get the error on another file.
- Deleting the domain file and the com.apple.iweb.plist files in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and ~/Library/Preferences. I then tried uploading a default site template and got the same error.
- Following the steps on http://karreth.com/iweb/22070571-B241-4C09-840B-288E0EC491F6.html. Same error.
- Creating a new user account and publishing a default iWeb template. Same error.
- Manually deleting all site and rss content from iDisk using Finder, then Publish All to .Mac. Same error.
So, it seems that the error is not related to my web content, nor is it related to my iWeb configuration files. I can connect to my iDisk using Finder without problems and browse the contents, so it is not an issue with .Mac either.
How can I fix this? The error message is useless and I can't find any more detail in the console logs.
Thanks,
Paul

HELP.... My website disapeared from iweb!!!

I'm panic struck... I opened iweb and my website simply was not there!
Even though I saved always and repeatedly.
I've been building my personal website and just finished a particularly dificult page, with a ton of videos and stuff.
I saved and quit, i closed my macbook, putting it to sleep... when I opened it the next day, my site was simply GONE!
I've gone to user>libraries>appsupport>iweb but the domain there is a REALLY old one, from when I started doing the site! It only has one text box and a single page... my website had over 20 pages, most of them with video!!
I can't understand this...
Can anyone out there help me out?
I'm using iWeb'08 v2.0.4
Thank you so much in advance.

Yes, but I DIDN'T have a crashed HD, and I saved EVERYTHING as iWeb allowed me and I STILL lost everything.
Are you seriously saying I should have backed up my whole user data? Its a design flaw of iWeb and a VERY serious one. Without anything going wrong, it just refused to save my work... for 2 weeks i used it everyday and nothing went wrong. I saved it every single day.
Where did the saves go to? this is the first App i use in my life that doesnt actually keep save files. I still can't believe Apple would do this. It's just unbelievable that this can happen, and even more so that EVERYONE in this forum thinks its acceptable to have to backup a hidded file as a SAVE FUNCTION!
This inability to save my work, and coupled with the inability to load sites from folders makes iWeb completelly useless.
It's the first time in my life (i've been using apple since 86) that I have REALLY been disapointed. It's like a sick joke.
I'm going to shut up now and rebuild EVERY single step of my webpage. Again.

Where is a website loaded from iWeb 08 to .Mac stored ? Mac or Online

Is a website I make in iWeb 08 and load onto the web with .Mac stored online or on my computer - ie. do I have to remain online for others to view my site?
Thanks

If you use the Publish button or Publish to .Mac menu, your site is put on your iDisk at .Mac. Whether your computer is operating or online doesn't matter once that is done.

Publish Error - An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/X"

Hello everyone,
I've been using mac for about 10 years now and have finally decided to try out this iWeb application. Spent several hours putting the site together... fun... but when I hit the publish button, the following error popped up.
Publish Error
An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/X". (X being my site name which also happens to be my .mac account name.
So I've spent another 3 hours trying it over and over again but still no luck. So I've searched this forum and see if there's any tips. Found a lot of solutions but none of them seem to help. I've deleted all the folders and file on my 'Sites' folder on the iDisk. Closed all running apps before hitting the 'Publish' button. And I've even deleted all my work and tried just to upload the 'welcome' page. Still doesn't work.
I'm getting a bit annoyed... Are there any solutions for my problem??
I'm using a PowerBook G4 12" 1.33GHz Mac OS X 10.4.9 with iWeb 1.1.2
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Probably not. No big deal, really. The important thing is we have been able to get your site on the .Mac server, albeit in the homepage directory.
Ok here's your last assignment. This will also take awhile, but when you are finished your site will be up on .Mac and accessible using the web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename url.
Since you have already initiated a publish to .Mac from iWeb, the root directory for iWeb should be on your iDisk. You should be able to navigate to the iWeb folder following this path:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/SiteFolder
"SiteFolder" should be a folder named for the site you are having trouble publishing.
On your desktop, open the Site folder that iWeb delivered when you published the original site using the Publish to a Folder... command. You will see a number of folders in there and a number of page.html files. Drag each of these into the Site Folder mentioned earlier, on the iDisk. (The one named for the site). The root index.html file, (the one published outside of the Site folder) needs to be placed in the Web/Sites folder; you should see it in the column above the iWeb folder when done. Basically, you are "manually" uploading your site. It's cumbersome and a royal pita, but if successful, this exercise will confirm what I have suspected all along:
The problem is a latency/time-out error. (The actual error message itself is misleading and somewhat immaterial--iWeb probably chose it randomly). Lots of things contribute to it, but basically, iWeb gets tired of waiting on the WebDav protocol and then generates an error message. I wish I could be more specific, but that's about as close as I can get to the core issue. Many folks publish successfully from your area of the world; just keep trying, and when all else fails, you can always swap out the changed files manually following the method outlined above.

Cannot publish from iweb to iweb website

Had to format hard drive and re-install OS. Suspect domain file is gone? I can see my website on .mac - but it does not show on iweb. when i publish from iweb, it tells me it's been published, but no changes on .mac - any ideas? help!

I have the same problem. I tried your advice but still cannot get iweb to publish. Before I had my computer serviced it worked fine and publishing took place automatically.

How do I publish multiple websites from iweb?

Hi, I'm new with iweb and .mac in general and wanted to know about publishing multiple accounts from my iweb.
I bought a five-user edition of .mac last week and I wanted to get at least three different websites up and running. One site is almost 50% done and has uploaded just fine but when I tried to create another site in iweb, I have no idea where it's going. I created a second account in .mac and it shows up (I can log into and everything) but how can I publish to my brand new site without the other one going through each and every time?
This question may sound really dumb but please bear and mind that I'm a newbie with iweb and mac (I just got this powerbook in Sept. 2006).
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Actually, Dale, this is a pretty common question.
If you want the different sites to load to different .mac accounts (or different sub accounts), the easiest solution is probably to set up several different user accounts on your computer, one for each .mac sub account. In each of those accounts, set the appropriate .mac info in system preferences. Seems like I've heard of another approach, but this is probably the simplest.
Have you already started building a second site in the same user account (on your computer) as the first site? If so, we'll need to walk you through domain separation, too.
One other heads up: it is very important to back up your domain files (in your case in each account). The domain file is found in ~/library/Application Support/iWeb, where ~ refers to your home folder for your user account on the computer. Make sure to make a backup copy (preferably on an external hard drive or CD) after every major change in your website. Don't be lulled into thinking that a published website serves as a backup. It is not possible to import a published site back into iWeb. The domain file is your only link to creating/editing the site in iWeb.
Please post back if you have any questions or if I haven't been clear.

Moving website from published folders back to iWeb

I am currently working on a number of websites however when I went to publish one website to .mac it has put other websites in to a published folder. How do I move the works in progress websites from the published folders back to iWeb to continue working on them??

Hi,
unfortunately there is no way to get html files (published files/pages) back into iWeb to edit them. To be edited in iWeb a site needs to be in the domain file (where iWeb stores its data).
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebRetrieveWebsite.html
To manage more than one website they all need to be in the same domain file (showing up in iWeb at the same time) or you need have multiple domain files (not showing up all at the same time). You can't publish to folder, delete the site from iWeb, make a new one and get the one you deleted and published to a folder back in.

How to publish website from iWeb ?

Hi Apple Geniuses
I have downloaded Server 2.1.1 thought I would be able to publish my website after losing MobileMe hosting. I would love to publish it again but the process with Server seems to be more complicated, not to say...less straight forward. I have tried some couple of thing but unsuccessfully.
Would anyone of you recommend the step to follow using Server software only (and not recommending any third party website please) to enable the publishing of my website. Alternatively , does anyone would recommend tutorial on how to use Server to publish website.
To all of you, in advance, Thank you.
Fred

Hi Mark
I grately appreciate your support and the first couple of steps were easy to follow. However , I'm quite puzzled with the last paragraph in regard to DNS, DynIP, CNAME...
When I have allocated the folder , it did change the TCP from 80 to 443 and I manually reset it to 80...is that where you told to direct the TCP to?
Here is a snap shot of my setting
Let me know if I'm going the right route thank you.

I upgraded from iWeb '06 to iWeb '09-now I can't publish to a folder

I'm having 2 issues after upgrading from a powerbook G4 running Tiger with iWeb '06 to a macbook pro running Snow Leopard with iWeb '09. I migrated my website created with iWeb '06 over to iWeb '09 and I'm having 2 issues.
1. Every page in the website brings up a window that says "The following errors occurred while trying to open this document: Type: Substituted Font; Description: The font "Arial-BoldMS" was substituted for..."
Then it says "To include missing fonts, add them to your fonts folder, then quit and reopen iWeb."
This happens every time I open iWeb, even after I click "Continue" in the dialogue box. Where can I find the font that is being replaced--it doesn't list it in the dialogue window. And how can I download it to add to my fonts folder?
2. When I try to "Publish Entire Site" or "Publish Site Changes," a dialogue window pops up saying "Publish Error: Can't create the file "index.html." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
I am the administrator user, so that's not the issue. I have over 300 GBs of free disk space, so that's not the issue. The disk is not damaged because everything else is working just fine.
I am not familiar with the way iWeb '09 publishes. In iWeb '06, when I selected "Publish to a folder" from the File drop down window, it brought me to a screen in order to select a folder to which to publish. That feature is gone in iWeb '09, with the "Publish entire site" and "Publish site changes" taking its place, but I don't see where it has options to configure FTP or even input where you want your site to go and what domain name it is. How do I direct iWeb to publish the site to a folder or upload it to my Godaddy.com web host?
Thanks for your help.

For the font problems, try the "Safe Mode" suggestion in this old thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1956989&start=20
...Found by doing THIS. Also see this Apple doc:
_Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?_

How can i delete a website made in iWeb from MobileMe but not from iWeb

The problem is that I have made changes to several pages (almost all of them) on my site and since the changes my site no longer displays correctly in Internet Explorer.
I have looked in the IE CSS file and the CSS file for IE is completely messed up and would take a long time to correct by correcting the code for every page, so I decided just to delete the whole site from MobileMe and then republish it as a new site, rather then as an altered site.
The problem is I don't want to delete the site from iWeb, because it has took me months to build it and I don't want to have to start again. I just want to delete the site from MobileMe, so I can republish it as a new site (and hopefully correct the screwed up code).
So how can I delete a website created in iWeb and published on MobileMe from MobileMe without deleting it from iWeb.
Huge thanks
Jay

Hey thanks for your reply, unfortunately I have already tried to delete my site from iDisk >> Web >> Sites. But it said that i didn't have permission and it wouldn't delete the files.
I am loged in as an Admin and I still cant delete them
Thanks again
